I will never forget all the wonderful times we shared together as children; "pickle parties", picnics at IBM or at the bungalow in Bayville, Christenings, Baptisms, Weddings etc. Your family certainly kept the rest of the clan entertained when we all got together. I will certainly post the pictures I have on the Corrigan sight in honor of your memory and in my heart for the rest of the family to share.

Janie... You are in my prayers. You are a hero, as Mo stated. And a fighter, as anyone could tell in the bright smile you wore through it all. Thank you for who you are to all of us. Peace to you and your family.

Dear Janie: A couple of months ago I had a dream and your mother appeared to me and told me that everthing will be alright. She surely greeted you with open arms in heaven. Say hi to my mom.

Love

Janie:
What happened to pickle parties and Shadyside? Your life was very full and too short. We've kept in touch thru our sisters and families. Miss you,

Janie,
As the first female Corrigan Classic winner, you have always been a hero to me. I have no doubt that you'll make those old guys up there let you play. I'll miss you.
Love,
Mo xoxo
